**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Highly flammable. Reacts violently with water liberating extremely
flammable gases. Causes severe burns. Harmful by inhalation. Possible
risk of harm to the unborn child. Vapours may cause drowsiness and
dizziness.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns. Prolonged and/or repeated contact may cause
defatting of the skin and dermatitis.
Ingestion:
May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. Causes
gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause liver and kidney damage.
Aspiration of material into the lungs may cause chemical
pneumonitis, which may be fatal. May be harmful if swallowed. May
cause central nervous system effects.
Inhalation:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Causes chemical burns to the
respiratory tract. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary edema. Vapors
may cause dizziness or suffocation. May cause central, peripheral,
and autonomic nervous system effects. May cause hypotension,
depressed cardiac output, and bradycardia.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and
dermatitis. May cause liver and kidney damage.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep
eyes closed. Extensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30
minutes).
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4
cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. As in any fire,
wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors
may form an explosive mixture with air. Vapors can travel to a source
of ignition and flash back. May burn with invisible flame. During a
fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. Water Reactive. Material will react with
water and may release a flammable and/or toxic gas. Use water spray
to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Water may be ineffective.
Material is lighter than water and a fire may be spread by the use of
water. Flammable liquid and vapor. Vapors may be heavier than air.
They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined
areas. Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flame. Containers
may explode if exposed to fire.
Extinguishing Media:
For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or
alcohol-resistant foam. Water may be ineffective. Water may spread
fire. If water is the only media available, use in flooding amounts.
For large fires, use water spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. Do
NOT use straight streams of water. Contact professional
fire-fighters immediately. Cool containers with flooding quantities
of water until well after fire is out.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Sweep up
or absorb material, then place into a suitable clean, dry, closed
container for disposal. Scoop up with a nonsparking tool, then place
into a suitable container for disposal. Remove all sources of
ignition. Isolate area and deny entry. Provide ventilation. Do not
expose spill to water. Do not use combustible materials such as paper
towels to clean up spill.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use only in a
well-ventilated area. Do not allow water to get into the container
because of violent reaction. Ground and bond containers when
transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof
equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Empty
containers retain product residue, (liquid and/or vapor), and can be
dangerous. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from heat,
sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Discard
contaminated shoes. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,
drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open
flames. Keep from contact with moist air and steam.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep away
from water. Refrigerator/flammables. Keep containers tightly closed.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Facilities storing or
utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility
and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible
exposure limits.
